I am suffering from agony right now because of my dysmenorrhea. It is very painful and I don't know what to do to lessen the pain. I want to work but I am so slow because of what I am feeling right now. What do you usually do when you have it? Do you drink or eat something that lessens the pain? Please share. Happy mylotting to all!

well im doing some home remedy if its is really painfull sometimes i put some oil and massage it for a while or just put oil after that it all paids away:) or sometimes i put some hot packs below my belly (ythe packs that we are using during winter) and it really helps... try when you got some chance and see if it will work on you.. anyway im really hoping you can find a way to lessen the pain and lemme know also:)

I also experience dysmenorrhea every time I had my monthly period. The solutions that work for me to prevent it from happening or worsening is by drinking ponstan sf, but make sure you ate a full meal to prevent experiencing other pains. I only do this for emergent purpose. But if I sense that I am about to have my monthly period like maybe a week before it happened, I either exercise by jumping jacks or massage the lower back part of my back. Remember also not to eat salty foods, my mother said it has an effect why I suffer that kind of pain every time I had a period. Drinking coke also help. I don't know if it has a scientific reason or anything but it works for me. :)
